how to write a makefile based on date
I have 30 files(all are .c file) based on each day of a month. And a app.c and app.h. Now I want to write a makefile to bulid the application based on the date of system. The 1st day I build the 1st day's .c file. Like this.

I just want a makefile and this makefile should be executed by "make makefile"

Makefiles don't work that way. running 'make makefile' tries to find a target named makefile, not a file named makefile.

The proper syntax is the one you didn't want.

Makefiles aren't batch files, either. They run commands based on what target you asked for and what things have been built already. Would you really want your program deciding it didn't need to build again because it already built one that month last year? Make files don't sound appropriate for this.
